Lore

On Saturday, June 6th, at 2:00 PM Pacific time, I'll be sitting down with Lead Game Designer Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas to answer your questions about Warlords of Draenor -- including the upcoming 6.2 Content Patch, as well as lessons we've learned throughout Warlords of Draenor's development.

We'll be sharing more information, including how to submit your questions, in a full announcement on Monday, but wanted to give the community as much advance notice as possible regarding the date and time of this upcoming Q&A. We'll see you there!

Rygarius

Having lured Grommash Hellscream’s former lieutenants with promises of untold power, Gul’dan has delivered the Iron Horde to the Burning Legion. Now, he floods the jungles of Tanaan with energies from the fallen pit lord Mannoroth, creating an army of fel orcs brimming with demonic strength and insatiable bloodlust. Even the Iron Horde’s mighty war machines have been infused with fel energy, while the Shadow Council recruits fanatical arakkoa to help crush all who oppose the Legion.Whether Horde or Alliance, as commander of your side’s garrison in Draenor you must oversee the construction of warships to assault Tanaan and disrupt the Iron Horde’s frenzied preparations -- then stop Gul’dan before his fel masters can gain a foothold on Draenor. If you fail, there will be nothing left to prevent the Burning Legion’s obliteration of Azeroth.

Zone Unlocked: The Invasion of Tanaan Jungle

Heroes of the Horde and the Alliance, return to Tanaan Jungle and stop Gul’dan's plan to drag the whole of Draenor into chaos while plotting to reopen the portal for a massive invasion of Azeroth. Embark on a new series of chapter-based quests putting everything you’ve learned on Draenor to the test.

To begin preparations to assault Tanaan Jungle by land, you must first establish a Shipyard (available to characters with a level 3 Garrison). To begin your efforts, report to your Garrison and accept the “War Council” quest.

Establish an outpost to be used as a forward base of operations in Tanaan.

Open-world questing with rare creatures and hidden treasures scattered throughout the zone.

Additional rewards for Timewalking are still in-testing, such as a level 100 quest that rewards a Seal of Tempered Fate per weekend.

Basically it'll make everything have less health/do less damage. They're nerfing the raids since they're no longer useful.

I'm really tired of this "lessons learned" excuse.

WoD is the worst expansion as of yet, why can't they be honest and say that it didn't work out as planned and it would be time to drop any and all development on Draenor ending with 6.2, and promising to make the next expansion better while paying more attention to it and our feedback?Instead they ignorantly refuse most complaints or to act on them and yet still find a way to sugar-coat things with words as "cyclical" or "lessons learned".Blizz is a huge company with nearly 25 years of experience, but as of WoD they are just experimenting around like some highschoolers on a toad in biology class.

I'm sure a lot of you will think I'm mad for asking to leave Draenor behind, but things are already quite bad, 6.2 has cool additions but it will be just a small damage-control, and waiting months for 6.3 plus the undetermined time after that until 7.0 will drag out things in a much, much worse way than it was with SoO.

Also don't forget that MoP was supposed to have 1 more big content patch after SoO, which was cancelled, and WoD should have come 6 months sooner so ever since then, WoD is at fault for most of our misery.

One question."The achievements, Ahead of the Curve: Imperator's Fall and Ahead of the Curve: Blackhand's Crucible are no longer obtainable."Does this mean that the Cutting Edges will be still available or were they just left out of the notes?

Cloak of Shadows now has a 90-second cooldown (up from 60 seconds).

What was the point? And on top of that combat's Killing Spree still kills us at random if we use it in boss encounters without Cloak, and now that no longer lines up relatively well.

I'm guessing you're upset there's no flying.

WoD is the worst expansion as of yet

Not helping your credibility; I'm not saying it's either a good or a bad expansion, but I'd hardly say it's the worst yet.

Blizz is a huge company with nearly 25 years of experience, but as of WoD they are just experimenting around like some highschoolers on a toad in biology class.

Incidentally... you're not meant to experiment on your toad in high school biology; you're meant to dissect it according to your dissector, and identify the structures you're meant to learn about.

You sir should give yourself a pat on the back. Garrisons are by far one of the worst features added to the game. They are not account wide which makes them not alt friendly at all. Pat on the back for dealing with that crap on 7 toons, as well as admitting to the entire community that you have too much time on your hands :P

Nice condescending response, I've seen quite a few similar blue posts as of late.I am indeed a bit upset about no-flying, but I'm not sure why you think that would be the gist of my comment, since I didn't mention flying even once.I didn't read the news just today and came here to blow off steam, if that's what you thought.I'm rather upset about WoD as a whole and how Blizz acts.I see that you, however, are quite upset about people complaining about no-flying and I'm sorry to say, but prepare for more, because it's a huge sting to the community and people will surely mention it even after 6.2 comes out.

Not helping your credibility; I'm not saying it's either a good or a bad expansion, but I'd hardly say it's the worst yet.

An MMO expansion that encourages most people to just sit around alone in their garrisons instead of doing various activities with others - I'd call the worst as of yet.An expansion where subscription numbers drop faster than ever - I'd call the worst as of yet.An expansion where PvP is in ruins, there's barely any content to do and there are more and more people voicing their concerns - is the worst I've seen for WoW as of yet. Stop sugar-coating it.

But anyway, which one was your worst expansion? Tell me more.

Incidentally... you're not meant to experiment on your toad in high school biology; you're meant to dissect it according to your dissector, and identify the structures you're meant to learn about.

We know that most of them end up just experimenting around, but let's not worry about what some highschoolers do when the point of the comparison is that Blizzard is making decisions which don't seem well thought-out at all.I'm glad you mentioned "dissector", since one of the problems for Blizz might be exactly the bad communication and/or confusion between their own ranks.

All I'm saying is, that Blizz should take things seriously, but they're so blindly arrogant that they refuse to see how things are slipping out of their hands.And don't get me wrong, I'm not here to point pitchforks at anyone's neck, but because like thousands many others, I'm worried about the current and future state of the game we used to love.

Paladin RET .... nerfed? And did you look at PVP rankings?

1) Still in the #250 range in 2s like in Mist..2) All good DPS spells for the Ret paladin are melee, we get CC and slowed to often it's not playable because of the 8 yard range hiting radius. Some improvement were made for the mobility on the talent tree but aint sufficient.3) Warriors benefit from sprints and jumping and numerous stuns, Dk's pulls and alot of slows AND rogues is a CC factory, Monk are very mobile... All class have a bubble ...4) Also rets don't have an high DPS without a burst and gets CCed when they burst so its a very situational to be able to dps someone... why?

Why ?:

1) Get in the 8 yard range2) Burst and "anti CC" = opponent bubbles and wait for you "anti CC" to fade3) They run away and your left with a 8 yard range hiting nothing.4) its very situationnal to be able to DPS in PVP:

Conclusion:In fact the ret paladin relies on most of the time on AD spells, will have to run or antiCC alot to get to mele rangeto apply BC, E don't have any punch, F is a finishing tool 1min cd, G in pvp is hard to apply to get an killing blow with it and you'll get lucky to get an opponent to 35%

Recommandation : Give the paladin more melee range and give us more dps for range spells if the opponent is not at 10 yard. example: each 5 yard adds more of the ret range damage if you get hit by a ranged opponent.

OR add more mobility spells.

Pets are BOT in PVP***************************************************************************************************

Please stop giving classes pets that follows you 100 yards with autoattacks and slows aint a player its a bot PVP example : can't mount in a BG for 40 sec coz the hunters pet was on me. Paladins are one class that is truely handicapped by both is range and mobility.

All pet class should not be able to use pets in Pvp: Hunters (murder crow 1 min cd? another bot) , Dks, mages, warlocks they are all cheaters when they front a paladin.

I'm a good Ret Paladin in BG I get alot of Kblows (avg:5kb best:14kb) but aint what an hunter or an warrior can or even a Spreist. (and I'm geared 100% 660)

So nerfing in anyway a Ret is a joke, you don't understand the skills it takes to be efficient. A good ret is only good if an opponent is undergeared period.

Paladin RET .... nerfed? And did you look at PVP rankings?Many words calling everyone a cheater but me, who is awesome yet still losing.

It's a minor nerf. Paladins are much more durable than rogues or windwalkers, which I am amazed you brought up because they are getting a far larger nerf. Paladins have a sprint it's called Speed of light. The fact you think everyone is a cheater is just proof. You are the problem my friend. You aren't a good paladin. Rogues don't deal as much damage as they used to, and they suffer from CC more than you. They don't have massive self heals and invincibility for eight seconds to everything on a reasonable cooldown.

You should get some perspective and try other classes. And when the other paladins can kill you as you play a hunter or mage, or rogue, or anything. You'll start to understand how to counter it. The best way to learn a class's weakness is to play it after all.

Pat on the back for dealing with that crap on 7 toons, as well as admitting to the entire community that you have too much time on your hands :P

Funny, cos I believe there are plenty of fellows with 10+ characters who are on the legendary ring quest chain.

Garrisons for alts become easier when you explore the option that not every garrison should be identical. Do I really need a level 3 mine and/or herb garden for every alt? Probably not. Do I need more than 1 barn? Yes. In every garrison? Again, probably not.

Also, I realise that having the old-style sparkles to indicate objects (instead of the new outline) actually had me herbing and mining outside a bit more. Guess I like shinies.

On experimentation, I myself believe that once you decide to play WoW, you are signing up to become Blizzard's guinea pig, all the way until you drop your sub. The sooner you grasp the concept, the happier you'll be (and the sooner you realise when WoW's no longer suitable for you).
